Cycling day trip from Florence to Pisa

Get ready for a scenic cycling journey from the heart of the Renaissance, Florence, to the iconic city of the Leaning Tower, Pisa. This roughly 101 km route is perfect for those who enjoy a mix of quiet roads and picturesque landscapes.

Starting off in Florence, you'll leave behind the bustling city known for its incredible art and architecture—think Michelangelo’s David and the Duomo. As you pedal away, you'll be treated to the stunning Tuscan countryside, with rolling hills that might see you ascending a leisurely 465 meters. No worries, though—the ride offers slightly more descent, so you'll get some reprieves!

Around 27% of this route rolls over smooth asphalt, while about 11% offers a gravelly texture, perfect for bike adventures. The path is primarily made up of quiet roads, around 55% of the way, so you can enjoy a peaceful ride without much hassle from traffic.

Approaching Pisa, the flat landscapes make for an easy finish perfect for snapping a quick photo of the famous tower. Set your pace, enjoy the views, and soak in the charm of Tuscany. Buon viaggio!
